Adding config.h trouble

#1

Hello everyone, I am new to programming and platformIO.
Currently using PlatformIO on VS code, Mac OS High Sierra.

I have been working on this tutorial, esp8266 adafruitio dht
I can run it on Arduino IDE, but I cannot get platformIO to read my config.h
I added the config.h file under the lib tab in my project: lib-config-config.h
the error tells me that it can’t read a library that I’ve included in the config.h file

#2

So what’s your file structure of the project? There is no lib-config-config.h file, only a config.h file. You should put that file in the same folder as your main sketch (under src/).

Otherwise you’ll have to show the full error message and give us a copy of your project.

Thank you for your response, I have attached a screen shot of what I’m working with

Could you use pastebin.org (or a new post which uses Markdown for CPP code formatting) to make a copy of main.cpp, config.h and platformio.ini available?

#5

yes
main.cpp
config.h

#6

platformio.ini

#7

I can successfully build your code when I put config.h in the src folder as I described above and explicitly add the library dependencies in the platformio.ini as

lib_deps = 
	Adafruit Unified Sensor
	DHT sensor library
	Adafruit IO Arduino
	Adafruit MQTT Library
	ArduinoHttpClient

thank you so much for your time, it worked, I thought that I had to save it under the lib folder.
